The new Aegir is a 20 wpc @ 8-ohms (40 wpc @ 4-ohms) stereo amplifier, and in monoblock configuration a stout 80 wpc @ 8-ohms. I briefly heard Aegir at RMAF before a very early prototype decided to take an early break from the rest of the show.
For 4 or 8 ohm speakers, the Aegir’s first 10 watts per channel are pure Class A watts, from 10 to 20 watts Schiit describes the power as “Class A like” watts. More Schiit from the Axpona 2019 audio show was to be expected, as the two-channel segment of the audiophile market is learning, and learning fast.
If it caused Amir from audiosciencereview to say: "I am going to put the Schiit Aegir on my recommended list for its solid engineering and design." It’s small, solidly built and sounds like a bona fide high-end amp. Big rooms soak up more power than small rooms, and high sensitivity speakers need less power to play at a given volume level than lower sensitivity speakers.

... Albany Western Australia. The Forte IIIs synergy with Aegir was manifest in the way it sweetened the speakers sound, adding a fuller and rounder tone to the music.
I split my Aegir listening sessions between two sets of speakers, the low sensitivity KEF LS50 and high sensitivity Klipsch Forte III speakers. The Aegir is $799 in the US, £800 in the UK, and AU$1,299 in Australia. The amp’s rear panel hosts a set of beefy looking gold-plated speaker cable binding posts, stereo RCA inputs and a single XLR input for use when an Aegir is run as a mono amp (the RCA inputs are only used for stereo operation). Unlike the Vidar, the new Aegir will do best with higher sensitivity loudspeakers. We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. I have yet to see any of their products deliver high end performance. The Schiit website claims, “Aegir uses an exotic current-feedback topology, as well as a 100 percent linear power supply (with 7 separate voltage rails and 600VA transformer) and microprocessor oversight to eliminate capacitors and DC servos in the signal path.” That’s tech speak for a rather advanced design not typically seen in such an affordable amp.

Also on display was a prototype model of Schiit Audio’s forthcoming turntable. It looks like a near twin of the Schiit Vidar ($699, £700, AU$1,199), but while Vidar is a 100 watt per channel stereo amp, the more-expensive Aegir is just 20 watts per channel. Great! The price is right too. Hey folks, I've been watching the Schiit Aegir sub-thread with interest; I am very attracted to the sound quality traits described over those of the Vidar. Schiit Audio debuts with Salk Sound a pair of Class-A stereo amplifiers configured for this system as monoblocks. Fueled by the Aegir, the LS50’s sound took on a burnished glow, with the tone richer and sweeter than I’m used to.
The Aegir is sold with a 15-day home trial and a 5-year warranty. Even with the Aegir’s finned heat sinks running the full lengths of the chassis sides, the amp runs warm to the touch, so don’t plan on tucking this amp away inside a closed cabinet. Picture an audiophile amplifier and what do you see? Aegir put a lid on the dynamics and bass definition, and switching back over to the more powerful Vidar restored the music’s life. Starting with the new Aegir, which is available now on Schiit’s website for $799 USD, and ships within 3-5 days depending on stock levels.
Perhaps I am too easy to please (or Auralic staffers are too hard to please) but I find the output from the Mini via the USB or the coaxial to be of a very high quality and perfectly fine in a high-end system used as a transport with a good DAC. The Jotunheim is the only Schiit model I’ve reviewed, and I don’t and have never owned any Schiit products. John, I find it interesting that Auralic describe the Aries Mini as a “non-audiophile” device.
